Answering Objections about the Problem of Evil and Suffering, Part 2
The Problem Stated Those who see an irreconcilable conflict between an all-powerful, all-loving God and evil and suffering in the world do so with several arguments. Some ask the thought-provoking question, “Couldn’t God have made a world in which evil and suffering...
Answering Objections about the Problem of Evil and Suffering
One of the most difficult objections to the Christian faith to answer is the question of how there can be a good, loving, powerful God when there is so much evil and suffering in the world. The challenge with this objection is that unbelievers borrow Christian views...
The Doctrines of Man and Sin for Apologetics, Part 3
The final segment in this topic deals with the fall into sin that corrupted all of God's creation and plunged man into guilt and condemnation. 4. Because of sin, man is completely fallen In contrast to many worldviews and religions, Christianity believes that man is...
The Doctrines of Man and Sin for Apologetics, Part 2
2. Man is different from God Many world religions, especially the Asian religions have a monistic view of the world. That is, they believe that all things that exist are the same at the core. All things participate in Being, and God or the gods possess more Being than...
The Doctrines of Man and Sin for Apologetics, Part 1
We are unique from all the rest of creation by being made in the image of God. We are not like animals or angels because we were created to reflect the glory and image of God. Humans alone in creation are made in God’s image and likeness. This partly explains why all...
The Doctrine of God for Apologetics, Part 2
The doctrine of God is fertile ground for resources for apologetics. The more we know of what God has revealed about himself in the Scriptures, the more we are able to defend the truth. For the sake of space, we will focus on two attributes of God here--his triunity...
The Doctrine of God for Apologetics, Part 1
Now that we have established the authority of the Scriptures to reveal God to us, we move on to what God tells us about himself and ourselves. Sadly, the doctrine of God is one of the most ignored subjects for many Christians. The very God we are defending is...
Read Dystopias!
I often tell my students that the two most important books they can read outside the Bible are 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Both novels capture the outcome of opposing views of the world. Both...
How often does your church host an apologetics conference?
As I wrote in an earlier post, many churches have given up on any kind of organized evangelism program. And those that still have them seldom find them to be effective, but they soldier on out of a sense of duty. The problem with both giving up and staying committed...
The Role of the Bible in Theology and Apologetics
Since the time of the Reformation, Christians have summarized their beliefs about the Bible in four words. These attributes of Scripture form an acrostic, SCAN, which stands for sufficiency, clarity, authority, and necessity. The sufficiency of Scripture means that...
The Doctrine of Scripture for Apologetics, Part 2
The Bible did not fall from heaven as a finished product placed in the hands of men. Neither was it, like the claims of both Mormonism and Islam, translated from golden plates found in a hillside or cave. Rather, God communicated to human authors in various ways, and...
The Doctrine of Scripture for Apologetics, Part 1
The doctrine of Scripture is one of the most important doctrines to know in depth since the Bible serves as our foundation for knowing what we know. The Bible is also the target of many attacks on Christianity, so the better we know how it was written, what it says...
